Holli Turner - Weekly Artist Post











In these photographs you have people and animals more specifically cats.  The people have more of an ability to follow directions and sit still however the pets do not.  Due to this I believe that the photographer used a fast shutter speed between 1/250 of a second or 1/1000 of a second.  The artist also made great use of light and color in the images. You can see that color placement was very intentional.  Some items looked like they were even purchased to go along with the theme of the photo.



Andreanne Lupien’s concept was to add to the climbing increase in the already popular topic of cats.  She wanted to show cats with their owners in their most comfortable surroundings and their interactions with each other.


I enjoyed viewing these photographs and thought them to be a unique take on pet and owner portraits.  I have one cat an orange tabby named Tiger and couldn’t imagine having more than one at a time.  This isn’t your regular “old cat lady” which alters that stereotypical perspective that usually associates one with the other.  Since our class started getting into this photoshop and this ‘Crazy Cat Lovers’ project makes use of photoshop by multiplying the number of cats over the area of the photo.  All of these cats are not all doing all of these different things in one shot.
